      Oh nothing. The FIA has actually made promises to open up battery development back during the Gen-2 cars. Manufacturers and fans are still waiting though.

      They can’t even really claim it’s something that would financially affect the teams, since the batteries and powertrains aren’t made in-house. They’re made by Maserati, Porsche, and Mercedes.

        Maybe they don’t want Chinese manufacturers showing everyone that they are 20 years ahead on battery technology that everyone else.

      The only two possible reasons I can think of are to try and keep on top of costs, and to keep performance of the teams as close as possible.
